How does one apply to be an LIRR Conductor and are they hiring?

I am fascinated by the LIRR system and would love to be a part of this team. How does one apply to either be a LIRR Conductor/brakeman/ticket collector or an Engineer?

I suggest you start with the MTA website mta.info and look for an employment link.

Like nostalgia said, you have to go to that website, go to employment and pick LIRR. Sooner or later conductor may come up. When it does you will have to apply and submit a resume online.

Also what people have neglected to mentions is it's a very competitive job to get into. And their selection process is very very picky. Since it's not a civil service job, just because you pass the exam doesn't mean you'll even be called in for a interview. And also just because you apply doesn't mean they'll call you in to take the exam even if you meet the minimum requirements. So don't put your eggs all in one basket with them. Apply for as many exams as you qualify for and look into other MTA subsidiaries as well. MNRR is almost a mirror of LIRR and then there's always NYCTA which is a civil service job and easier to get into than either of the rail roads.
